im back on SSRI's again...I quit taking them for the sexual side effects, but my depression suffered so I'm back on Celexa.....forgetting to take them will cause problems, at least it does for me....if your allergic to some, talk to your doctor, im sure you can find something that works......

I have anti-depresants here(Remeron), I won't take them unless I get really low. but yes, It is sometimes hard trying to support others when your depressed yourself.

I've always been allergic to many of them myself. The one I have now skyrockets my cholesterol and is a big weight gainer and I just want to eat and be lazy.

SSRI's never worked that well. They always made me feel like my heart was going to come out of my chest!! Yes the sexual sideaffects and lack of appetite too. Tri-cyclics worked pretty good for awhile but my mouth was always dried out.

I know 2 of my neighbors who are taking
lexapro and thinking of talking to the doctor about that one.

So I take Diazepam which helps somewhat.
